Beware of fraudulent phone call purportedly from the health bureau
Members of the public notified the Judiciary Police in relation to an unknown telephone call allegedly from the Health Bureau, with pre-recorded messages in both Cantonese and Putonghua, claiming that the caller has not yet collected important documents from the Bureau.
